The 55-year-old, whose real name is Mark Calaway, said in a recent documentary that there was "nothing left for him to conquer". His words suggest plans to retire after a career spanning three decades. But neither Mr Calaway nor the WWE have formally announced his retirement from the league. The Dead Man, as he is nicknamed, made the comments during the new WWE biopic The Last Ride. He spoke about his most recent match against wrestler AJ Styles, which ended with him burying his opponent and riding away on a motorcycle.

The 28 year old sumo wrestler died from health complications after contracting corona virus, and he is the first in the sport to fall victim to Covid-19. Shobushi, whose real name was Kiyotaka Suetake, died from multiple organ failure after a bout of pneumonia, as announced by  Japan's Sumo Association (JSA). The wrestler first developed a fever on April 4 but struggled to get treatment at hospital because of a deluge of similar complaints from other potential patients.
